Dear Moma,
10-15-2013
No niin, So
little story to start off my email. Yesterday we were going through our normal
routine. Scriture study the whole bit. We got a call from a member in our ward
in the middle of companionship study and he asked if we could help him this
morning.
Of course
we can. We love service. (We don't think he knew it was our P-day) So we were
ready at 10 am ready to go. (10:00 is language study) We headed out to his
house and we raked his entire lawn after he already had once. We then took all
the leaves and rubbish to the land field. We were with him about 4 hours. After
Helping Veli Kervinen I let elder Speirs email. We then had bible study at
5/17:00 until 19:45.We talked after bible study. After bible study we
headed back to the church for me to email...at the same time that i was
suppose to email Elder Gourley and Sisar Gourley were having FHE
with the YSA. So my email time did not work out so well. And that is
the Story of yesterday.
We still
had to get food for this week this morning so these last two days have been a
little crazy different.
How is
everything back home. So Kindsey decided in her sleep that she wanted to change
the wall paper. I will pay her a Euro if she licks the wall next time.
;) BUT i need proof that it is really happens.
Elder
Hampton, I have heard of him but i do not know him.
All is well
here in Rovaniemi, We are down to no investigators again, but that means that
finding is going up. We have also been working harder to meet with our formers
as well as meet with potentials. Our branch is also being a great help. There
is a real desire to do missionary work here. Elder Speirs and I have talked
about it. We feel that Rovaniemi is on the edge of just exploding with
missionary work. We are meeting so many really cool people that seem to really
be interested. We set a new goal to have 5 teaches a day, With investigators,
potentials, new converts, members, new converts. Teach when we Find and Find
when we teach. We also have started a list of people that we are praying to
find that our branch needs. We are building a stake here in the North Zone. I
am excited to see where Rovaniemi will be in just a couple of months. It has
already changed from when i first came here. And that is really fun to see.
We had a
fun experience Sunday night when we went to visit a former. We had a former in
our area book that lived in the boonies of Finland. (20 minute bike ride north)
(Dirt roads) It was later in the evening and this would be our last house we
would stop by be for heading home. After biking for about 25 minutes we find
the house. In our Area book it had said that one of the children was
interested. We didn't know about the family, but we decided to stop by anyways.
We get there and the father of the house hold answers. To my surprise he
invites us in. This has only happened three times since i have been here.
We come in
and we start talking about stuff and we ask about church and what role that
plays in their life. "Yeah, we believe in God and Jesus Christ....but are
you not going to check in?"
...."no?"
That is
when the husband and his wife began to explain that this was a B&B (Bed and
Breakfast.) We had a good laugh about it. We ended up teaching the First lesson
to the Owners of this B&B and they are now potentials.
Not sure
how many Missionaries can say that they tracked a B&B.
Question
for my Bishop.
I heard
that Porter and Jessie are now in our Ward. How are they doing? How
is Dean Larson and his wife? Do they still live behind us? If so could i get
their contact information?
Look up the
Mormon Message ´Earthly Father, Heavenly Father´ Changed my life.
Thank you
for all you do. I was thinking yesterday about the miracles that happen every
day and How little I really see them. Every day is a gift from our Father in Heaven.
In just a couple minutes I was able to count over thirty miracles. That is
nothing near what could be written. I love you and pray for you. Have a
wonderful week.
love,
your son
